Several rezoning and development items carried over; public hearing scheduled for June
Summary
The Planning and Development Committee carried over multiple rezoning and final development-plan items — including a nine-lot subdivision at 101–109 Heath Circle — and indicated a public hearing will be set for June as applicants continue community outreach; staff said more information will be provided in two weeks for one item.
The Planning and Development Committee on April 21 carried over multiple rezoning and final-development-plan items and signaled a public hearing will be scheduled for June as applicants continue outreach and revisions.
Why it matters: Several items on the agenda affect zoning and future land use for parcels in Homewood, including a nine-lot residential final development plan at 101–109 Heath Circle. The committee’s decision to carry items over allows applicants to work with neighbors and advisory groups before the committee advances formal recommendations.
Details from the meeting: Committee members discussed two tied items involving 101–109 Heath Circle — a request for consideration to rezone and a request for final development plan approval for nine residential lots comprising about seven acres. Staff (Kale Smith) told the committee that the applicant is continuing outreach and that staff expects to have new information in two weeks. Committee members noted that rezoning and final plat approvals are often approved simultaneously in a single ordinance once outstanding issues are resolved.
A second cluster of items — requests for rezoning and final development plans at 1601 Parkview Lane, 1100 University Park Place and parcels on South Lakeshore Drive — were consolidated for committee consideration. Staff reported applicants had convened a neighborhood/advisory group of about 17 people and were addressing community concerns; the committee indicated it intends to set a public hearing in June and will refrain from further committee hearings until the June schedule.
No final approvals: At the April 21 meeting the committee did not adopt final rezoning ordinances for these items; members discussed consolidation of related items and next steps for public hearings and outreach.
Ending: Staff and applicants were directed to continue community outreach and to return with updated materials for the committee ahead of the scheduled June public hearing(s).
